The Salt of the Earth.

If the salt formations of Nevada were in
railroad communication there would be no
market in this country for the foreign arti-
Gle. In Lincoln county, on the Rio Virgin,
there is a deposit Of pure rock salt which
is exposed for length of two miles, a
width of half mile, and is of unknown
depth. In places canons are cut through
it to depth of sixty feet 1t is of ancient
formation, being covered in some places by
basaltic rock and volcanic tufa. The de-
post has been traced on the surface for a
distance of nine miles. 1t is so solid that
it must be blasted like rock, and so pure
and transparent that print can be read
through blocks of it foot thick At
Sand Springs in Churchill county, there is
a deposit of rock salt fourteen feet in depth
free from any particles of foreign substan-
ces which can be quarried at the rate of
five tons day to the man. The great
Humboldt salt field is about fifteen miles
long by six wide When the summer
heats have evaporated the surface water,
salt to the depth of several inches may be
scraped up, and underneath is stratum of
pure rock salt, of unknown depth. Soda,
borax and other valuable minerals also
exist in large quantities near these locali-
ties, and branch railroads will sooner or
later bring them into market A consid-
cradle business in gathering borax is al
ready established on the line of the Carson
and Colorado railroad

opposite side of the railroad, and is now o.
cupied by Z. o. Grimes & Co. with their
grocery and produce store, and for their grain,
fertilizer and feed business. Besides the
railroad switch running along the side of said
building and lot, the right to which is appur-
tenent to this property, there is also on the
side next to Liberty street large public scales,
OF great value to the property, and there are
also all fixtures and improvements necessary
to carry on large grain and produce trade,
and any business requiring railroad facilities.
This stand has always done large and profit
able business, and without question there is
no location in Westminster superior to it.
The title to the property is fee simple, and
it will be sold free of the dover of the widow
of said Z. S. Stouffer, deceased.
The lease of said property to said Z. o.
Grimes Il Co. expires on the 18th of July
next, and must be reserved at said sale unless
otherwise arranged, and possession cannot be
expected before then, but the rent will be ap-
portioned from the day of ratification of the
sale to the end of the year.
Terms of Sale as prescribed by the decree:
One-third of the purchase money to be paid
in hand, or on the ratification of the sale by
said Court, one-third in one year and one
third in two years from the sale, with interest
from sale; the credit payments to be secured
by the notes of the purchaser with approved
sureties.

The Barfeld, St. Barnaby and Waukee-
shaw was one Of those railroads begun when
everything was at a paper value, that ran
from Barfeld, which was next to nowhere,
to Waukeeshaw, which was about the same
kind of place. with branch to st. Barnaby,
an out of the way spot 1t was hundred
miles long with its branch. Other raal-
ways fought it and refused connection; 1t
was heavily mortgaged; its expenses little
oyerbalanced its receipts at times, and 1t
had stood at 9, nominal at that, for two
years. Nobody wanted it, in fact at any
price. That it would ever rise seemed im-
probable if not impossible, and tgo days
after Moore had secured contract at 5pee
cent, and bought at 9, buyer ten days, the
stock figured at s. Some one had found
out the purchase and was bearing. He
had to fill up and he grew frightened. He
couldn't sleep well. Milly, whose little
balance of fifty was drawn on, as she ln-
sisted it should be, was sanguine. She did
not believe in Van Stopel as lover, but
she had great confidence in him as an oper-
ator in stock.
1t leaked out that all the leading brokers
had contracts on hand to deliver large
amounts of stock, and the bears went to
work. But suddenly it was known that
all the shares, barring hundred or SO,
were locked up. Then came a startling
rumor, as the stock went up twenty, thirty,
forty, anything you please, that Van Stopel
was behind the scenes pulling the strings,
Wall street raved. 1t was corner.
Now a corner is a two-edged sword, and
keen as a razor, unless managed dexter
iousy it cuts both ways. A gang of brok-
ers in the face of ruin are likes bucks at bay.
They are dangerous. But Van Stopel was
master of his art. He did not desire to
ruin anybody, if the result was to destroy
his profits. With noble magnanimity
not properly appreciated by this evil gener-
alton be compromised at 80. His gains
only amounted 10 = few millions. The
street breathed easier. Moore, who did
the same thing-had to in fact, for when
the lion roars the cat cries, breathed very
fast with astonishment." :"
The day after all was over, Peter Duke
came into the counting-room and examined
all the letters of the morning. Suddenly
he tapped his bell and sent for Mr.. Moore,
but the manager had gone to w ill street.

money. I'll send Moore with it. No, 1
won't. He must keep away. You shall have
the money, but not Moore. When he can
settle hundred thousand on you I'll give
my consent, and not before; and mean to
tell him so III have serious talk with

"You are not angry with him papa, be-
cause he has fallen in love with me?"
''No that shows good taste; but he must
have that hundred thousand dollars"

ded archly.
"Ffphl" said her father, explosively,
and wended out to the office. When Moore
came in with glowing account of large
sale of Konia, he cut him short
"Never mind that" he said; "I have
something to say to you.
And he said it in a way so decided that
Frank trembled in his boots Then he
wound up with:
"You're very useful here, and don't
care to lose you. I'll put twenty-five per
cent. on your salary; but won't have you

not to have you unless I consent, and [
have told her that l never will consent

were alone together, the father having gone

was in fact, his smoking room; for having
quite mastered the article "Soap" in the
Encyclopedia, he never troubled the dust

such customary topics had been discussed

TURNING A CORNER.

Thomas Dunn English in NeW York Star.
Peter Duke, of the firm of. Duke & Co.
his only son, Phillip, was the company
was busy prosperous man. The firm was
making money very fast in the soap line,
and desired to make more. He was a
plain, honest and hard-working man, apt
to boast that he had started business with
only hundred dollars in cash, and now
had multiplied the original capital by thou
sands. He spent little time in boasting,
however, being too busy in his effort to
make the whole world wash itself clean
with Dukes Kimolia, as he called his soap,
and to force every laundress to use his
Konia, powder whose detergent qualities
were well known. Peter did not know the
meaning of these words, but they sounded
well. He had paid literary Bohemian
ten dollars to invent him something sonor-
Gus. The latter had turned to a Greek
English dictionary, and found these under
the head of ''soap." Peter was pleased,
and so was the Bohemian-with the ten
dollars and a dozen cakes of the soap thrown
in. The soap itself was good. The aim
of an expert soap-boiler is to reconcile sol
idity of structure with large volume of
enclosed water. Some of them increase
the weight of the compound by the addi-
ton of extraneous matter, but Peter was
honest and left out the dirt His sale Of
Kimolia was great, and so was the profit.
Besides son, Peter had fair daugh-
ter, and, next to his soap factory and his
shekels, he loved her. And Millicent-
her mother, now dead and gone, had picked
up the name from an English society novel
